As for the club comic, I direct the jury to the Wal*Mart exclusive Transmetal Rattrap. (I haven't been able to find a transcription of the on-package bio. Where can I find one?) --FortMax 02:57, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find it. It was released in 2005 and was barely a blip on anybody's radar, so nobody, not even tfu.info, cared to transcribe it. —Interrobang 03:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

OPTIMUS PRIME

Optimus Prime is a leader in the best sense of the word, taking point on every mission and never sending his team into any situation he wouldn't go himself. Dedicated to the protection of all life and preservation of freedom for all sentient beings, he serves as a role model for his fellow Autobots. It is through his keen intelligence, even hand, steady nerves and endless compassion that the Autobots continue to frustrate the Decepticons' evil plans again and again.

Teamed up with his brother Ultra Magnus for a desperate mission to the most remote areas of Earth, Optimus Prime will once again use the Spark of Combination granted him on Cybertron at the beginning of the Powerlinx Battles.

ULTRA MAGNUS

Known throughout the Autobot ranks for his boundless courage, Ultra Magnus is a powerful warrior and able leader in his own right. He is nagged by a constant self-doubt brought on by the fact that he was passed over in favor of his brother when it came time to pass on the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Though his jealousy of Optimus Prime once drove him nearly to treasonous violence, he has since grown older and wiser. His competitive nature drives him constantly to prove himself against the Decepticons, but his natural intelligence makes him a careful planner. Not given to philosophy like his brother, Ultra Magnus is a straightforward thinker. He dislikes wasted effort, and often his commands amount to little more than one or two words.

The question, then, is whether Energon Magnus should be combined with Cybertron Magnus. Is there anything in "Force of Habit" that conflicts with the bio? —Interrobang 07:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The mention that less than ten stellar cycles prior to the story, characters like Rodimus, Arcee, Sparkplug, Bulkhead and Scavenger outranked him, which doesn't make it apparent that he would have even been a contender at the time for Matrix Of Leadership. Also, he's binary bonded to his Minicon partner Knock-Out. --Detour 08:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Magnus will be getting more "backstory" via Knock Out's upcoming bio (and one or two other side-sources)... and as far as I'm concerned, no, that bio does not describe E-Magnus at all. --M Sipher 09:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
